Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge 2015 8th Qualifier Tests Skills on Abu Dhabis National Course
Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge (XCGC), the successful corporate golf tournament with multiple qualifiers across the GCC states and South Africa, is holding its eighth qualifying round on Thursday, September 10th, at Abu Dhabi Golf Clubs National Course, home of the annual Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.
The Par 72, 27-hole Championship National Course was designed by Peter Harradine. It opened in 2000, and features 162 hectares with 7 lakes and 90 bunkers. Play is described as tough-but-fair and challenging, across 18 holes of lush fairways with strategically placed bunkers and generous greens.
Two-player teams are invited to join the Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge, and tee off at 1pm on the day of the qualifier, for the chance to win a place to play in the grand finals at the end of the year in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
Andrew Horne, General Manager, Xerox Emirates, said: The National Course in Abu Dhabi is one of the regions most challenging and enjoyable courses to play. We look forward to bringing the eighth round of the Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge to the UAEs capital, where two more teams will earn their place in the grand final later this year. Taking part is about more than just winning though our golf series offers a superb opportunity for networking with peers.
Sponsors that are supporting the Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge this year include Prestige Wealth Solutions (PWS the Dubai-based firm of financial advisors), long-term partner Ecco, RAK Tourism, and first-time sponsor, Aramex.
